Peerless Pirates
Chapter Fifteen
After the diver handed the rope to the people on the raft, he also climbed onto the raft. Then, all the big men began to pull the rope together. In order to maintain the balance of the raft, people stood on both sides of the raft. All people worked together
, after a while, two large boxes were dragged onto the raft. This was true for these five rafts, and a total of ten boxes were dragged up. Because the boxes were quite heavy, and coupled with these big men, the entire raft was almost pressed into the water.
The big men paddled hard and finally dragged all the wooden boxes to the shore. The big men then carried the wooden boxes onto the cart.
Song Zheng counted seventeen carts in total. To Song Zheng's surprise, seven of them already had a large wooden box on top. Then, these people burned all the rafts. Since the rafts had not been soaked in water for a long time, they were damaged.
It dried quickly after landing on the shore, so it was reduced to ashes in a short time. Then, the seven carts began to go south along the lake shore. The other ten carts, each carrying the boxes they had just picked up, followed.
OK. Two-quarters of an hour later, all the carts were gone. The big man who was guarding the mountain road on the top of the ridge also came down the mountain from the west side, but did not follow him. Instead, he started searching on the west side of the west mountain.
Song Zheng quietly slipped down from behind the rocks, and he couldn't help but wonder, where did these people come from, and what did they pick up from the water? It looked like the wooden box was very heavy, and it must be gold and silver, otherwise they wouldn't have used so much.
Manpower. Song Zheng made his initial judgment and had great expectations for the "big opportunity" that Old Man Zheng said.
Song Zheng went down the mountain and returned to the village, and went straight to the broken house in the northwest corner of the village, which was Old Man Zheng's home. Because those people had moved very quickly, Song Zheng arrived at Old Man Zheng's house just after noon. Song Zheng entered the drafty thatched house, and Zheng
The old man sat on the only wooden pillar in the house, with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Song Zheng looked at the house, which had almost collapsed in half, and saw that the house could almost be described as "a family with three walls". The only kang
There was a shabby quilt with no visible color stacked on it, as well as some wheat straw. In addition, there was half a bag of grain in the corner of the room. Even half of the stove collapsed. It seemed that Old Man Zheng was living on eating raw grain.
Song Zheng walked forward and called "Grandpa Zheng" softly. Old Man Zheng woke up with a start and raised his head. Song Zheng was surprised to find that Old Man Zheng had washed himself and tied up his gray hair, although his robe was still the same.
It was in tatters and the person was haggard, but his whole spirit was different.
Seeing Song Zheng, Old Man Zheng asked: "How is it?" Song Zheng told him what he saw. Old Man Gao asked again: "Everyone is gone?" Song Zheng nodded, and Old Man Zheng seemed to
He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that one of the first batch of three hundred people slipped through the net and exposed the first location. Fortunately, the other two probably didn't notice it."
Song Zheng stared blankly at Mr. Zheng, full of questions, but didn't know how to speak.
Old Man Zheng said: "Little guy, do you have a lot to ask?"
Song Zheng nodded.
Old Man Zheng sighed and said: "I have been living in confusion for so many years. I didn't expect that I didn't die. I finally met a little guy like you. It seems that God doesn't want King Lu's secret treasure to be silenced forever. Come on, little guy, here we are.
Sit down on the floor across from me and I'll tell you about my story."
Song Zheng sat down as he was told. Old Man Zheng said: "I was originally from this village. My name is Zheng Renze. My parents died early, and I was the only one left. So when I was fifteen years old, I walked out of this mountain.
, go out and make a living." Then, Old Man Zheng told his story.
Zheng Renze followed the caravan to the Liao Kingdom, and later became the servant of Liu Fengnian, the deputy commander of the Liao Shan Army. Because he was quite smart, he became Liu Fengnian's confidant. Liu Fengnian returned to Beijing and later became the King of Lu.
Zheng Renze stayed with Liu Fengnian until Taizong attacked Lu. King Lu failed to surrender, so he planned to bury the property he had plundered for many years. Since Zheng Renze was a confidant of King Lu and was from Mizhou, so Lu
The king then ordered Zheng Renze to lead 300 troops and transport the treasures to Maling Lake in three batches for burial. After burying the treasures, Zheng Renze returned to Mizhou with these troops. After that, King Lu knew that he would not escape death.
He then ordered Zheng Renze to poison all the three hundred pro-soldiers. Since the military situation was urgent at the time, Zheng Renze only made a general inspection and thought that all three hundred pro-soldiers were dead. Now he recalled that the first batch of one hundred
One of the pro-military members may have slipped through the net.
Before King Lu hanged himself, he ordered two other soldiers to strangle Zheng Renze to death, so that the secrets of King Lu would never be buried in the sea of history. Who knew that these two soldiers had been favored by Zheng Renze, but they only killed Zheng Renze.
He fainted but did not kill him. King Lu almost collapsed at that time. After seeing Zheng Renze lying on the ground motionless, he hanged himself from the beam.
After Zheng Renze woke up, he escaped from Mizhou in chaos and returned to his hometown of Zhengjiazhuang. At first, Zheng Renze was like a normal person, but because his neck was strangled for too long, his brain was damaged, and he also felt against Lu in his heart.
Wang was full of resentment, and the past kept entangled in his heart, so that his mind became more and more confused. In the end, he only remembered the matter of burying the treasure. What Zheng Renze did not expect was that he could survive to this day and still be alive.
woke up at the last moment.
After telling the story in one breath, Old Man Zheng was so tired that he could hardly breathe. After resting for a while, he said: "I killed people without planning when I was out and about. I had hundreds of lives on my hands. Little guy, are you afraid of me?"
Song Zheng was so frightened by Old Man Zheng that he killed three hundred people with his own hands. This Old Man Zheng was really cruel. However, when he saw Old Man Zheng dying, he felt a little sad. No matter he was a hero or a traitor,
, the last moment of life is so helpless. Therefore, Song Zheng shook his head in response to Old Man Zheng’s question.
Old Man Zheng sighed again: "I am now dying and dying, so there is really nothing to fear. Little guy, after hearing this story, are you tempted by King Lu's secret treasure now?"
Song Zheng nodded instinctively. Treasure, whoever is not tempted is a bastard. However, Song Zheng still had good concentration, so he quickly woke up and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Old Man Zheng grinned and said: "When I was young, we were in troubled times, so I didn't get married and had no children. I met you when I was about to die. It's fate. Well, if you recognize me
Be your godfather, kowtow to me three times, and bid me farewell, and I will tell you the other two treasure locations."
Song Zheng was startled after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. You old murderer Zheng, I call you Grandpa Zheng because you respect your age. You actually asked me to recognize you as grandpa, and you even tried to exchange the secret of the treasure. It's really unreasonable.
The real man did something wrong and wanted me to kneel down and dream. Song Zheng thought of this, stood up, his face darkened, and said: "Grandpa Zheng, I help you because you feel sorry for you, not for other reasons. Don't say anything.
Whether I can get those treasures or not, even if you put the golden mountain in front of me, I still don’t want to recognize this godfather."
Old Man Zheng looked at him in surprise and said: "I didn't expect you to be so courageous at such a young age. However, I remind you that those people transported only one hundred thousand taels of gold from Maling Lake, and the rest
Those two parts not only contain gold, but also many other treasures, which are much more valuable than these one hundred thousand taels of gold. If you recognize your godfather, you will almost immediately become richer than the enemy."
The words "wealth can rival the country" made Song Zheng's knees immediately bend a little. However, our young master Song still held on: Damn, it's so tempting. I almost couldn't resist it.
When Old Man Zheng saw that Song Zheng still had no intention of kneeling down, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Yes, he is still a hero, better than I used to be. However, if you can get the treasure so easily,
It’s too easy on you. Let me teach you a poem. I made it up after I buried the treasure. The location of the treasure is hidden in the poem. This can be considered as giving you a great opportunity, which is right for me.
The promise." After that, Old Man Zheng recited a few lines of his poem that didn't make sense: "On August 12th, the lake light is good, the sun rises and the shadow of the snake in the west mountain shines, the Yang Shen arrow pierces the tortoise shell, have the three dogs entered?
Water exercises.”
Old Man Zheng continued: "Now that the first batch of treasures have been dug up, I am not afraid to explain to you the first two sentences of the song "Autumn Colors of Maling". August 12th is naturally the date, and the lake is Maling.
Lake. When the sun rises in Xishan, of course you are standing by Maling Lake. The sun rises from the east of Xishan. The snake shadow refers to the shadow formed by the Xishan Mountains on the lakeside at that time, and also refers to the reflection of the highest peak of Xishan in the lake.
.As for the last two sentences, it depends on your own understanding."
Song Zheng couldn't help cursing in his heart, Old Man Zheng, just tell me directly, and you still ask me to guess riddles, it's really nerve-wracking.
When Old Man Zheng saw Song Zheng's confused look, he laughed again, as if some conspiracy had succeeded. This made Song Zheng even more unhappy.
After a while, Old Man Zheng said: "Let's go. We don't owe each other anything now. If you can guess it, it's your destiny. If you can't guess it, I can only blame you for being stupid. You can't blame others."
.”
Song Zheng really wanted to walk away from this unreasonable old man, but he still couldn't bear it and said, "Then what will you do in the future?"
Old Man Zheng smiled and said: "Me? Haha, I have my own place to go. No one needs to bother me." Seeing that Song Zheng was still hesitant, Old Man Zheng said: "What, you still want to ask me something? Don't worry.
Think, I won’t tell you.”
When Song Zheng heard what he said, he was so angry that he immediately turned around and walked out. When he walked to the door, Old Man Zheng's voice came from behind, "There is a connection between the second, third, and fourth lines of the poem. If you learn a little arithmetic, it shouldn't be too difficult."
It's hard to guess." Song Zheng paused for a moment, without looking back, and strode outside the house.
When Song Zheng returned home, it was already midnight, and everyone in the family was going crazy. Mrs. Zhu was so anxious that she wiped away her tears, and Song Jue was so anxious that he waved his ruler, but was stopped by Song Shi who came back from outside.
Song Zheng felt guilty and quickly explained that he had gone to Maling Lake to play and had forgotten the time for a while. He repeatedly promised to return home on time. Song Zheng's status in the family has improved a lot now. Mr. Song has
Protect, no one dares to say anything. (Please give me flowers, votes and favorites, comments are welcome)
